Pros & Cons of Waxing

Most women get rid of their hair with a razor. It’s painless, even if you accidently nick yourself with the blade; it’s fast if you do it while showering; and it’s a cheap method of hair removal. Yet waxing salons and spas are thriving. Why? Because waxing is able to last up to a month, it reduces in-between stubble, it is highly effective, and it removes hair right from the root. You get instant smoothness that a razor cannot deliver, even when it’s brand new.

The Cons

You have to wait for the hair to grow back again to a certain length. There is a re-growth cycle that hair goes through once removed.

Yes, it will hurt. No, do not drink first to ease the pain.

More susceptible to ingrown hairs if not treated with an exfoliant.

More pricey, but totally worth it.

You’re removing a layer of protection against infection. Our hair naturally protects us from outside environmental stressors and toxins.
